Opportunity Scholarship

Our next scholarship application round is open from November 1, 2026 – January 31, 2026 at 11:59 pm PT.

We created our Opportunity Scholarship for Dreamer students who live in states where they effectively have no access to college – either because they face paying out-of-state tuition or because their state will simply not admit them into its universities.

You may be eligible for the Opportunity Scholarship if you live in one of these states:

• Alabama
• Arkansas
• Indiana
• Iowa
• Louisiana
• Maine
• Mississippi
• Missouri
• New Hampshire
• North Carolina
• Ohio
• South Carolina
• West Virginia
• Wisconsin

The Opportunity Scholarship Award will pay your tuition, fees, on-campus housing, and meals at one of our Partner Colleges out of state up to a maximum of $100,000 for a bachelor’s degree.

The award follows students through the completion of a bachelor’s degree and is renewable each year – Recipients must meet the continuing eligibility criteria, including continuous full-time enrollment, and renew the award each summer.

If you live in one of the states above, you may choose to attend one of these Partner Colleges in another state:

• Christian Brothers University, Memphis, Tennessee
• Delaware State University, Dover, Delaware
• Dominican University, River Forest, Illinois
• Eastern Connecticut State University, Windham, Connecticut 
• Trinity Washington University (Women’s College), Washington, D.C.
